Maryland Passes Gay Hate Crimes Act

http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/03/032405mdHate.htm

The Maryland House passed legislation Thursday that would add sexuality and gender identity to the categories of people protected under the state's hate crimes law.

The legislation now moves to the Senate.

While Maryland has had a hate crimes statute on the books since 1988, current law only covers crimes motivated by race, religion, and national origin.
